While watching the Kickoff yesterday, i realized that this year is gonna be very heavy on strategy, so I spent 3 hours developing a flash version of the field. You can move around tetras and robots and everything. heres a link to it http://robotics.flawlesshosting.net/RoboField.swf

let me know (by email, pm, or by an instant messanger) if your team would like to host it on their teamsite.

version 1.1 is made. I'm working on the other ideas that have been suggested.

Since probably everyone wants it, instead of us all posting our e-mail addresses, maybe he can upload it somewhere for us all to download?

with so many people requesting a copy it would make more sense if you just posted it to a site with a download link and told people to get it on their own. I would hate to be the guy who has to send out 40 e-mails when there are a ton of things to do right now.

Yes, please let us know when you are able to post the program!

A great resource for coming up with stratigies. But I just wanted to let you know that the vision tetras can start in 8 possible locations, not 6.

Good Job, if I find the time before the Competition starts I'll maybe write a Strategy Simulator in VB or something that will execute the Scripts they were talking about in the Kickoff (even so I didn't find that stuff yet, maybe somebody got a link?) ... In Case I do that I'll post a download link here : ) ...

it really is 8? i thought it was 6, can someone verify please.

my plans for this right now are

Add Save Function
Print Function
link to rule book
pen to write down movements and show strategies
a text box at the bottom to right down ideas

the flash field is grate but i noticed that their are actually 8 diffrent vision placement areas. also it would help if you depicted the actual loading zones and gates it would be alot better. there is also no reset on it. i know its a long shot but can you try to put a scoring program on it?

i would like a copy any way so will you send it to ewankoff@pascack.k12.nj.us

thanx

I think that it is 8 possible places as well, there are two "sandwiched" between the two colums that are on the simulation

Since probably everyone wants it, instead of us all posting our e-mail addresses, maybe he can upload it somewhere for us all to download?Yeah, he doesn't need to do anymore work guys. He can just post back here once he gets the updated version up on whatever site he hosted the last one... :D

But, good work on this.

ok well 1.1 is up, it has the 8 vision placements, but i'm not sure if they are exactly accuarate. I'll see what i can do about a reset button. And the scoring system well that may take awhile and i'm a builder not a webmaster

09-01-2005, 17:15
Looks really good so far. A scoring system would be cool, but it'd also take a while to put together. Keep it up!

anyone know if there is any award i am eligable for this?

09-01-2005, 17:32
I'm not sure if the 8 vision placements are correct. One of the pictures in the gallery has it set up differently. I'm not sure if that's accurate either but its just another interpretation

Is it just me, or is robotics.flawlesshosting.net down?

<edit> i figured it out, its www.robotics.flawlesshosting.net </edit>

If it is, could you please send me a copy? Charles_Waite@buacademy.org

Quoteth the instructions button: "this isn't to scale yet, so dont count me on that and I'm working on being able to show how to put a tetra underneath another to score points"

If you used a tetra snap-to-goal system you could put numbers on it to represent how many tetras are present, but that might just be overcomplicating things...especially if you want to get it to remember in what order (color-wise) they're stacked :ahh:

Only important suggestion for now: dark green background + bright blue==bad for eyes. x_X

Very good job though, love it ^^

I think that my team would love to host it but I can't seem to get the website. if you could send me a zip or something that would be great. send it to ffsupermagnum@yahoo.com and I'll try to get it on our site. team number is 481 Hitchhikers. Thanks!!

When I clicked on the link it said "502 Bad Gateway." Probably a problem on my end though. Could you send it to me at rkericks@newton.k12.ks.us
Either that or you could put it on your site. Thanks.

our team site is out of wack and we can't pick a server we like, i'll post the offical link later, so thank 1523 for hosting it.

I feel it's getting too much attention for what it's worth. calling it great, awesome, etc. would be rewarding cdr1122334455 for something he did however didn't put enough effort in.

The fact is he did it. End of story. If you're jealous of the attention he's getting, perhaps you shouldn't have been lazy. Don't steal someone's credit when it's well deserved.
